Alas.

Craigslist was the first nail in the newspaper coffin. Classifieds and adverts ate a LOT of local money. And all of that went poof. CL cost $0 to post. Why would I pay $10 for a week advert?

All the aggregators grabbed news from everywhere, and paid 0 for it. It cost to make. And made nothing. Encouraged the closed/paywall web.

Ganett etm bought a LOT of local papers, and lowered quality as low as they could go. Inertia kept many older subscribers. I know 0 millrnial and younger subscribers.

NYT and other major papers are easy to sign up, and you basically have to die to get rid of. I would never recommend.

There's a lot of factors. Basically most journalists are going to the glue factory, like horses did with motor vehicles.
